The command station is currently using a power op-amp made by SGS Thomson,
part L165.  It is only rated at 3A.  I will be switching to a full H bridge
using discreet n-chan mosfets and a fet-driver to get more current.  The
power op-amp might be a good approach for the decoder.  The disadvantage for
a command station is it needs a bipolar supply.  The decoder inherently has
a bipolar supply from the rails.  The only package information I have is a
TO-220 style case.  There may be a surface mount power op-amp out there
somewhere.  It's easy to get the op-amp to do bipolar but a little harder to
do PWM.  I haven't thought about how to make it do PWM, but it shouldn't be
too hard.
